This much-talked about dwelling in South Mumbai is one of the most expensive homes in the world

Towering over South Mumbai, the Altamount Road home of Mukesh Ambani is a 40 storey structure reflecting the industrialist family’s legacy of wealth and triumph in the business world. Named after the mythical island “Antilia” in the Atlantic Ocean, this soaring miracle was designed by the Chicago based firm, Perkins and Will in collaboration with Leighton Holdings, a renowned Australian construction company. Today, the Ambani mansion qualifies as the second most expensive home in the world, only after the Buckingham Palace. Here are a few facts about this much talked-about house.

A Billion Dollar Home

Located in one of the most expensive neighbourhoods of the world, the 400,000-square-feet Ambani home is worth almost 2 billion dollars.

A Showcase of Tensile Strength

Conceived by an award winning architectural firm and executed by a sub-par construction group, this over-arching building can survive an earthquake of 8 magnitudes on the Richter scale. Consisting of 27 inhabitable floors which equate to 40 storeys because of their exceedingly high ceilings, the Ambani mansion has over 600 staffers maintaining it.

Lavish Facilities

The Ambani mansion consists of resources and facilities surpassing realms of reality. The building is not only equipped with a private movie theatre with a seating capacity of 50, but also consists of a full fledged salon, a rooftop helipad, a mega-temple and an ice cream parlour.

High-Tech Interiors

Though heavily air conditioned from bottom to top, the Ambani house is serviced with another unimaginable quirk. Releasing man-made snowflakes from its ceiling, the mansion’s snow room provides the family with a comforting respite from the heat and humidity of the city.
